point: “When I was taken out 'sum-

thing I can remember now with the few

Captain \iilicr was succeeded on the
witness stand by Captain Theodore l1.
Icwoll. who commanded the cruiser
Minneapolis during the Spanish war.
Captain .lewell said he had first fall-
en in with the Flying Squadron under
command of Commodore Schlcy on the
evening of May 26.
Captain imply quoted from Admiral
Schlcy's letter to the Senate Commit-
tep on Naval Affairs. dated February
18. 1899. saying: “After having been

such officers as Sigshcc. Jewell .and al—
though they had been off Santiago for

asked whether he had given to Admiral
Schley this information or any other
information concerning the Spanish
fleet. ’ihe witness 1eplied: “I gave
him no information with reference to
that subject"
The judge advocate asked: “At the
time you were within signalling dis~

Schlcy as to the presence of the Span-

“Not to my recollection.”
“Do you rest oiiect whether you went

“I did not go on board that day."

GROWING PEACHES.
interesting Experiment by: Chester
Farmer.
Samuel A; Lynda. oi Chester. has
concluded 11 successful experiment in
peach growing that is attracting some
attention. in the winter of l895 and
11196. which was an open one, be. dug
titty holes in 11 field with a slope of
about forty-five degrees to th the west.
it had been cleared of white birch
brush five years previously. in it he
pointed corn and potatoes until thor-
ouhly subdued. The soil was a light
loam. 'l‘hc'hoies were 11 foot deep and
five feet in diameter, and were filled
with fine. hog and barnyard manure,
mixed with leaves. The. trees were
planted in the spring of ”911. were cut
back to eighteen inches above the
ground .und net deep. 'i‘wo quarts of
line bone dust was sprinkled away
from the roots of each tree. the ground
was cultivated for three years and
then sown in clover. The second year
with a crovibnr he made numerous
holes around the outer limit of the
limb spread. dropping more bone dust
in them. his idea being to set the roots
ofa'hls trees deep and to encourage
their growing by putting fertilizer
where they must seek for it away
from the. tree. and downwards. They
made such a growth that be clipped
them back every winter to allow 11
strong root growth. They were about
eighteen feet apart. each way, with
apple trees thirty- six foot apart. The
varatiec wore early and late Craw
lords. liliberta Old Mixon.Oldm1xon
tree. Buloways. Stump of the World.
and Mountain Rose. The following
.aprinx 1% more peach trees were set.
This season many of the trees are
broken down by the Weight of fruit and
his crop is animated at 400 to i500 has-
keta. bringing from 50 cents to $1 11
bucket. From these trees of the early
Crawford he gathered twenty buckets
of marketable fruit. His farm is nitu
ated on I high bill. so the fogs have
not injured his crop cs in many places.

that event you can give him 26 pen-

makes six ways. Now then. a fellow
with 11 quarter can trade it off for 5

For. Thomas Whalen. of Portland
Oregon. the road to wealth evidently
lies through the interior arrangements
of the lower animals. He came to this
country years ago on the proceeds of a
diamond ring. which he discovered in-
side of a pig he was dissecting when he
was a boy. in ireiand. The other day.
while. he was dressing some chickens.
he found a lot of gold nuggets doing
duty for gravel to their glzarda. lie
traced these chickens to their source in
Ciatsop county, and is now prospecting
for the. aurlferous deposit whence they
must have picked 11p their valuable aids
in digestion. When he finds it he should
sell his claim for the best price he can
get for it. while he devotes his personal
attention to the biltcher’ng business.
it is his manifest destiny to find Kohl—
hours in his next batch of poultry.—
